On Monday, January 31, 2022 Maria Elizabeth Santana Estevao Narciso passed away peacefully in her much loved home.

Elizabeth was predeceased by her loving husband Joe, and will be lovingly remembered by her son Tony, her grandchildren and her many family and friends.

Elizabeth and Joe spent many happy years on their orchard in Oliver, raising Tony and loving life with their land, their family and their friends always surrounding them.  Elizabeth’s fervent wish was that she be able to stay in her beloved home on her orchard and never have to leave it, and she did just that with the help of her loving son Tony and wonderful caregiver, Monique.

As many of Elizabeth’s loved ones, both family and friends, have aged as she has the family decided that in this time of public health regulations and difficult travelling conditions, a graveside service with a video for all to observe from the safety of their own home was
appropriate.  The service was lovely and we thank Nunes-Pottinger and Father Thomas for making it happen.

Elizabeth loved animals all her life, and those visiting her final resting place in the future will see a picture of one of her much loved dogs on the back of her grave marker.  Bonita will forever watch out for her and her family as she did in life.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to the animal rescue her son and his family have adopted pets through in recent years.
